Not sure which place to put this, so I put it in the "Wildcat" area, and am just linking to it from here.

Thanks for looking.

Which mid-size for coyote?which mid-size for coyote?

I would use a .222 or .221 Fireball.

I like the deuce personally.

I have a Fireball that shoots better than I deserve, I don't think it's ever shot a group of five over 3/4", with any bullet under 52gr. I don't see anything heavier being suitable for the case capacity, so I haven't tried them. It's a seriously well-balanced cartridge, but so is the Deuce. I like them both, but I have a couple .204s that electrocute coyotes, they are pretty decisive, but might be too loud for nearby houses.

Another vote for the 221fb.

Wouldn’t be without one. A 222 wouldn’t suck either.
